[Cinderella Chef ] [Episode 55]
Chunyu,
Yao Yao called me here.
I know I am not as good as you in many ways.
You beat me with Prince Jin.
But you can never beat me on one thing.
We are from the future. You are not and you never will be.
- Yao Yao-- - Let's not say too much. Let's go.
I told you last time, the fetus was not perfect
and you might not be able to keep it, but you insisted.
I thought there would be a miracle.
It's fine. Then please do as I said.
Understood.
I thought you were staying with Xia Chunyu.
He is separated from Ye Jinxuan.
I suppose he hates me now.
That's right.
But I don't regret it. If I can't have him, she can't either.
Then what are you planning on doing next?
None of your business.
What you offered me this time really has helped me a lot.
If I inherit the throne,
you can keep your title.
But everyone knows that Princess Liuli is dead.
So what? The world will be mine.
Whatever I say is whatever way I say it is.
In this world,
can someone really do that?
I actually believe that you tend to
lose the things you want most, eventually.
Most good things don't last.
"Like how easy the clouds have been blown away and how easy the glass gets shattered."
Maybe the name Liuli leads to bad luck. (Liu - clear as in glass)
I have lost everything now. I should just go back home.
If Your Highness doesn't have any other orders, I am leaving now.
All right. Your old sickness has come back.
You do need to get some rest at home.
Your Highness must be jesting. I have always been in good health.
Your weak bones, which turn in whichever direction the wind blows, isn't that the disease you've always had, General?
Your Highness?
General, you fought on battlefields with the greatest bravery
and now here you are, willing to
do dirty deeds in this place?
The Emperor's mind is hard to predict, I...
No, not that you can't really tell.
I'll take my leave, Your Highness.
Wait a minute. Let me show you something.
If you still decide to break off cleanly with me after you see it,
then I will not stop you.
Your Highness!
You may leave for now.
General, stay right there.
Wasn't that fun, General?
Is it punishment from above?
General, have you heard? Fifty years ago,
there was a tale about the small army beating a big army?
I made Xua Chunyu sneak into Black Wind Fortress
for that secret weapon!
So there was such a thing does exist in this world.
But...
what you just saw,
was only one-thousandth of its power.
Wait until the day of the blood moon and when the Pleiades hide behind the moon
and it all will finally be mine. Also,
whoever is against me, will die.
So Your Highness already planned everything.
I will do my best to help you to achieve your goal.
Dear customer, mushroom beef sauce on spaghetti,
fried chicken, and a Coke. How's that?
Look at you, starting to cook while you are still recovering.
It's easy to overthink things when you have too much free time.
Yao Yao, what actually happened between you guys?
Cheating.
He is from ancient times and he is a prince.
It is normal for him to have multiple wives.
Forcing monogamy, like us modern people,
is far too strict on him!
But that's not what he said.
Of course! Every guy who is in a relationship
will tell you, "I love only you and no other."
and "Love conquers all." Right?
You are from modern times, you should know that
love is just dopamine plus certain other hormones.
Yao Yao, come back with me!
My apologies, Your Highness. Marquis Xia insisted on coming in, I couldn't stop him.
It's fine. You may leave us for now.
I was very clear.
We are done and over.
You should have gotten over Liuli by now.
Take it that I'm begging you. Come back with me.
What about you?
I harmed your baby, aren't you mad at me?
If you really don't want a child, then we don't need a child.
In my heart, you are much more important than a baby!
Really? Mingyu was right.
There is an expiration date on love.
I can't believe you actually believe someone like him!
He just wants the throne. In your era,
getting the throne with immoral deeds is a huge crime, but I am from the future.
There isn't any emperor in the future.
So what was important to you is not important to me at all!
I don't want to talk to you about that. But what about love?
- Between him and I-- - You don't know what love is!
Love is very very fragile. It can't last through too many obstacles.
In our world, falling out of love and
loving other men is the most ordinary of things!
You should leave.
Stop harassing me from now on.
Did he threaten you?
Or did he drug you? Or did he threaten to hurt me?
- Let me talk to him! I need to make it clear to him! - What do you think you are doing?
Stop lying to yourself!
You can cry if you want to.
It's nothing. It's just breaking up, nothing to cry about.
Yao Yao, maybe it's fate.
You lost your love and I lost my throne.
We came to this era, hung out for a bit, and ended up with nothing.
I really hope you meant what you said.
Actually, they were all lies.
Let me show you something.
This is something I got by coincidence.
Read this part about the outsider.
- Once having a child, one can never go back. - Yeah.
Mingyu, I got this back from Stupid Donkey.
In a few days, it will be the day of the blood moon and the Pleiades will hide behind the moon.
You were right, we did lose everything.
Let's just go back to the future.
All right.
Yao Yao, let's go back to the future and be with each other.
I am not sure about that.
It's okay. I am just happy that you didn't reject me.
Your Highness!
How about that, General? Did you like the array?
Hey, don't you want to know
the secret behind my secret weapon?
Please tell me, Your Highness.
Let me tell you. This ring is the key to this magic.
It can connect the canals of time and space
which then releases lots of electrical arcs.
Now, the receiver I made with crane metal
will connect those arcs to the ground.
You don't understand?
I don't understand, Your Highness.
So it has something to do with electricity.
Of course, I know that you don't understand!
How could you understand this?
Because I am the only one who can understand this.
Because I am the only king!
General!
You, go take a look over there.
All right, stop looking. It was just a cat.
Come back.
Good evening!
Why are you dressed up like this?
Why? Can't I?
It was hard finding someone to make it for me.
You look great. It really suits you.
Come, come, come, sit down.
Come, sit.
Thank you.
I cooked these just for you.
Prince Yu personally cooked these.
If this leaks out, aren't you afraid you'll be a laughingstock?
What's that ancient saying? "A nobleman stays clear of the kitchen."
Look at what you are saying?
I'm Prince Yu to them. To you, I'm just an ordinary guy.
Besides, I cooked them for my girlfriend.
This is what I should do, right?
I didn't agree on that with you.
The only pitiful thing is, the silverware is not that great.
What to do? There wasn't much in the ancient era.
But I worked hard and it looks even better.
What are you talking about? We are going back to the future tomorrow and back to Shanghai.
Come, try the big prawns first.
I'm really a glutton for Western food. Every dish of yours
is comparable to a Michelin star standard.
This is my sincerity. I'm definitely not as good as you.
Yao Yao, can you peel a prawn for me?
Huh?
Can you peel a prawn for me?
Okay.
Do you know why I wanted to cook prawns?
Because when you peeled the prawns for Xia Chunyu, I was extremely envious.
At that time, I fantasized that
it would have been great if you were sitting next to me instead.
- Here. - That fast?
Yao Yao.
He's already not here.
Eat this.
Yao Yao, do you know that love
is about two people eating, talking together,
and... sleeping together?
Look at this table of food.
Steak, prawns, and salads.
It's a pity Chunyu isn't blessed to be here enjoying these with you.
But so to say, it's only temporary for the two of you. It's not for life.
I know.
You should give me some time, too.
Frankly speaking, if the two of us
get along and like each other immediately,
we don't need to go back to the future.
Don't you think it's great here, too?
If we go back to the future, both of us will be poor. We have everything here.
What do you mean?
You're just a prince without any power, whereas
I'm an abandoned wife of a nobleman.
See? You didn't know, right?
If you didn't let me read this book, I really wouldn't have known.
This ring,
not only will it let us do time traveling,
it will even allow me to obtain this empire.
Tomorrow, on Zhuque Street, I will ambush the Emperor.
Later, on Shengwu Square, I will make the Emperor abdicate.
When that time comes,
I will then become your emperor.
The empire will be ours.
What's wrong? You don't want to?
Don't worry, I won't force you.
I will definitely wait for you until you are willing to marry me.
I was thinking... if you were to become the Emperor,
wouldn't you have three palaces and seventy-two concubines?
Then I don't want to.
I wouldn't do that. I'm not that kind of Emperor.
We are from the future. We know how important it is to be true to only one person. Isn't that so?
Moreover, I frequently watched those period dramas about palaces.
Look at those Emperors who have several wives.
In the last one of those hits, they killed all the Emperors.
Then you don't mind that I was Xia Chunyu's ex-wife?
Who cares?
Brother Chunyu, did you hear what I was talking about?
You said that His Majesty ordered Prince Jin to pray in the Shengwu Public Square.
This means that Prince Jin will be entering the East Palace very soon.
You indeed were not listening to what I was saying. I said that fire incidents have increased lately.
There are citizens getting affected everywhere. Today, the State Astrologist
repeatedly submitted reports to His Majesty,
saying that the gods in Heaven
are saying that Prince Jin isn't the most suitable choice.
Rumors are flying around.
I think the current position of the Emperor isn't stable.
How could there be so many coincidences?
Such frequent lightning has never happened in the past,
this must be the will of Heaven.
Lightening?
There are some balls here and lightning.
These people died later.
Did they die from the lightning?
I don't understand. If I had studied more science, it would have been great.
Do you think Mingyu would understand this?
Of course, he's a scientist and is always doing research.
Don't tell me Yao Yao will give the ring to him? Impossible.
What are you mumbling about? This lightning disaster has already occurred for more than half a month.
Two weeks? Do you remember which day it started?
Of course, I remember. It was the 27th lunar day of last month.
A family manor on the western outskirts got hit by lightning.
The fire spread to the whole village.
The twenty-seventh? Yao Yao was still at home then.
This means that Mingyu didn't have the ring yet.
Did he give me a false ring?
- Brother Chunyu, what exactly are you talking about? - I get it now.
Yao Yao deliberately left me.
She already knew about Mingyu's scheme. That's why she did this to me?
Prince Yu is going to ambush the Emperor at Zhuque Street tomorrow.
Prince Yu? What's going on?
Brother Hu, it's too late for me to explain it to you.
I must bring highly skilled martial arts experts there to save the Emperor. I'm leaving first.
Yes.
Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki
Did you find it?
Congratulations, you found it.
Yao Yao, you really disappointed me.
I've already given the empire to you!
And you are still thinking of him?
What are you saying? I don't understand.
I took this so that I could go back to the future.
After thinking things over, I still don't want to stay here.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Heavenly Dining Hall
released a messenger pigeon to inform Chunyu. Did you do this?
You saw it?
I just don't understand.
You are from the future.
What business is it of yours who becomes the Emperor?
Can't you be on my side?
It doesn't concern me who becomes the Emperor.
But you are going to do things to anger the gods. You will kill many people.
So what if I do?
Since time immemorial, time rapidly goes by.
These people should have died earlier. Isn't that so? If not, would there be the two of us?
You are twisted. Do you think that by time traveling, you are outstanding?
Believe it or not, I'm going to destroy this.
You have succeeded. It broke even without you stepping on it.
You know that a ring made from a meteor wouldn't break that easily.
This is the fake ring which you gave to me.
So, you already knew?
Then, Stupid Donkey--
You have guessed correctly. At Zhuque Street,
the person I'm going to ambush, is not the Emperor. It's Chunyu.
Go!
Protect His Majesty.
Kill him.
Meng Yun?
Surround him!
You are intelligent but you insist on falling into a woman's hands.
Fortunately, she sent a false note.
If not, would you come here to die?
Utter nonsense. Yao Yao would never do that.
Believe it or not, it's up to you. But, today, don't even think about leaving here.
Release the arrows.
Frankly, you have already tricked me.
You even aborted his child.
But do you know how I found out that you tricked me?
Do you still remember when you peeled the prawns for him?
You peeled and took out the meat of the prawn and fed it to him.
Stop peeling. You will prick your finger.
- That fast? - Ah...
Yao Yao. Yao Yao.
As for me, you peeled it and just left it on the plate.
Eat this.
That's when I realized that your love for me was fake.
You are too sensitive. Yes, I did trick you
but the peeling of the prawn didn't mean anything.
No! No.
The love between two people is shown in these small details.
So to say, when Chunyu dies today...
you are to blame, not me.
Don't worry. I believe Stupid Donkey will never die.
You are only lying to yourself.
I'm not. I believe in him, just like he believes in me.
What's wrong? Are you jealous of this kind of love?
Why?
Why him and not me!
Stupid Donkey and I were sincere toward you. As for you,
you kept lying to us!
People like you are not fit to have true love.
You only care about minor details like I didn't peel and feed the prawns to you. Also,
don't ever say that only the two of us can eat happily together.
It was only a candlelight dinner.
Stupid Donkey and I have already had those. It's just that you didn't see it.
Come with me.
To where?
His Highness wants you to personally watch him fulfill his dream of domination at the Zichen Palace Hall.
Take him away!
Let's go!
Remember this. I'm only going to let Chunyu live for the time being, today.
I want you to regret.
Both of you abandoned me,
betrayed, and tricked me! Look at how well I treated the two of you.
Arrest her and go to the palace.
Isn't is Shengwu Square?
Prince Jin is there. Why would I go there to join in his fun?
You are in such a hurry. Where are you going?
Why are you back?
Brother Chunyu, when I just arrived in Ximin, I heard about Prince Yu's forces mobilizing troops from several areas.
I figured there must have been some changes in the capital.
Hence, I rushed here.
Looks like we came just in time.
Meng Yun,
Mingyu is not who he was in the past.
You should come around now.
You betrayed His Highness.
- How should I explain it to you before you understand... - Don't say anything more.
We are different.
Without His Highness, I wouldn't have existed.
Meng Yun,
I swore to serve His Highness until death!
Kill!
- Meng Yun! - Kill them!
Meng Yun!
Kill!
Go!
Kill!
Brother Chunyu.
Don't let any one of them get away.
I never thought that I'd have a prestigious day like this. Right, Brother Chunyu?
Xiao Jing.
If my Royal Father hadn't lent you an army, how could you have had this awe-inspiring moment?
You two got married?
Yes, I wanted to marry the person I wanted.
I didn't want to be a political alliance princess.
He was a loyal person. It's a pity that he followed
the path of an evil person.
Even in death, he still doesn't know that
his real master was changed with another person.
It's urgent. Let's go and save Yao Yao now.
I heard that His Majesty and Prince Jin will be praying at the Shengwu Public Square today.
If Prince Yu will be inciting a rebellion, he should be doing it in Shengwu Public Square.
Wrong. Meng Yun told me earlier that I'm to witness the ascension to the throne
of Prince Yu at Zichen Palace Hall. Shenwu Public Square was just a decoy.
What are we still waiting for? Let's go then.
[West Gate]
What tricks are you up to?
This material is especially hard to obtain in this era,
but I was able to create it; heat insulation.
What are you trying to do?
Without a doubt, I'm a genius.
Even more so in this era. I can do anything.
